“…Visitor flows are analysed by geographic data (Baggio and Scaglione, 2018) obtained also from destination cards, mobile apps or social media (Salas-Olmedo et al, 2018) or by using passive mobile positioning (Ahas et al, 2008; Raun et al, 2016). Moreover, Bluetooth low energy used in beacons, used mainly inside the tourist attractions, can provide useful information about tourists’ flows inside a building (Yamaguchi et al, 2017). The data can be shared on voluntary or non-voluntary basis.…”

The concept of smart tourism has gained a significant attention in the last years, leading to fruitful discussions among scientists and practitioners; however, there has been lack of attention paid to smart tourists so far. Although this emerging type of tourist has been conceptualized, it is now important to find whether it can be considered as a market segment. The article fills the gap in the smart tourism research by using two-step cluster analysis to classify 5975 tourists, finding a smart tourism market segment and analysing the characteristics and travel behaviour of this segment. This segment is worth focusing on and differentiates in all trip experience phases. The rethinking of business models of today’s destination management organizations towards creating value proposition during all trip experience phases based on personalization and experience enrichment is needed in order to reach the smart tourist market segment.

In this competitive creative world, shopping is an important part related to every human, consider anything say household appliance, clothing, electronic items etc. It can be either online shopping or shopping in stores, markets etc. There is always a dilemma in customer's mind whether to *buy such costly products or items and same time checking price through online selling company. Of course, varieties of deals attract humans. So, using a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacon technology can be helpful to increase retailing business of any stores by providing various offers on different product. Since price has become a major problem in today's world as same product is sold with different prices. Thus, using beacon technology people can get exciting offers within the range of beacon to the products of their choice which can help to increase interest of customer and helps in rising profit of the stores by offering deals to interested customers along with navigation for providing indoor directions. So, with the use of exciting sale amount of window shopping can be reduced and actual selling increases. Thus, to deal with such advantages and defects the application helps to reach with mentioned advantages.

Dynamic technological progress is actively influencing the shape of modern education. Inventions that are constantly appearing on the market are often adapted to the needs of schools. One of the technologies that shows special potential in didactics is beacons. Beacons are small devices that can be used for communication, navigation and researching the recipient’s behavior. These functionalities are used in the education process, enabling the creation of completely new learning experiences. According to research, they can be successfully used in the classroom, during the formal learning process, as well as in various institutions, such as in informal transfer of knowledge, for example in cultural institutions. These sensors can contribute to the creation of a dynamic space for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, which will automatically respond to the individual needs of the recipient. The main goal of this article is to present the possibility of using beacons in the context of stationary education. The considerations were based on a review of the available literature. The work draws attention not only to the problems of the sensors themselves, but also to the possibility of their cooperation with other technologies. The collaboration of technical tools may contribute to the creation of more comprehensive solutions and, as a result, an increase in the quality and efficiency of the education process. However, as the analysis shows – beacons can be a promising technology in education, but their use is niche. Perhaps in future years, there will be more such solutions that will enable a more accurate assessment of these sensors. The author intends to continue her research to support the adoption of the described technology in Polish educational institutions.
